The forum sells ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page. This income is used primarily to cover hosting costs and to pay moderators for their work (there are many moderators, so each moderator gets only a small amount -- moderators should be seen as volunteers, not employees). Any leftover amount is typically either saved for future expenses or otherwise reinvested into the forum or the ecosystem.

There are 10 total ad slots which are randomly rotated. So one ad slot has a one in ten chance of appearing. Nine of the slots are for sale here. Ads appear only on topic pages with more than one post. Hero/Legendary members, Donators, VIPs, and moderators have the ability to disable ads; these people don't increase the impression stats for your ads.

Design & ad restrictions

Ad text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page. No ICOs^[1], loggable mixers^[2], banks, funds, or anything that a person can be said to "invest" in; I may very rarely make exceptions if you convince me that you are ultra legit, but don't count on it. Ads may be rejected for other reasons, and I may remove ads even after they are accepted.

See the ad design rules for info on designing forum ads.

When advertising a new service, you should always check with me in advance whether your service is OK. I will sometimes accept bids of people who don't do this, but such people are taking the risk of being rejected at the last minute. It's also a good idea for you to have me check your ad's HTML+CSS in advance, especially if this is your first time advertising.

Duration

- Your ads are guaranteed to be up for at least 7 days.
- I usually try to keep ads up for no more than 12 days.
- Sometimes ads might be up for longer, but hopefully no longer than 14 days. Even if past rounds sometimes lasted for long periods of time, you should not rely on this for your ads.

Auction rules

New members are likely to have their bids rejected unless they PM me first, telling me what they're going to advertise. New members might also be required to pay some amount in advance. Additionally, if you have never purchased forum ad space before, and it is not blatantly obvious what you're going to advertise, say what you're going to advertise in your first bid, or tell me in a PM.

Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in mBTC per slot. (10 mBTC = 0.01 BTC.) You must state the maximum number of slots you want. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all nine slots are filled.

So if someone bids for 9 slots @ 50 mBTC and this is the highest bid, then he'll get all 9 slots. If the two highest bids are 9 slots @ 40 mBTC and 1 slot @ 50 mBTC, then the first person will get 8 slots and the second person will get 1 slot.

The notation "2 @ 50" means 2 slots for 50 mBTC each. Not 2 slots for 50 mBTC total.

- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however, like "5 @ 10 and 1 @ 50".
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 5 mBTC.
- The bidding starts at 5 mBTC.
- I will end the auction at an arbitrary time. Unless I say otherwise, I typically try to end auctions within a few days of 10 days from the time of this post, but unexpected circumstances may sometimes force me to end the auction anytime between 4 and 22 days from the start.
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.

If these rules are confusing, look at some of the past forum ad auctions to see how it's done.

I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made.

Price flattening

At the end of the auction, after the winning bids are all determined, I will do a "price flattening" operation. This has no effect on which bids actually win, but is instead just meant to make the prices actually paid by bidders more equal. For each bid, in order of lowest to greatest price/slot, I will reduce each bid's price/slot to the highest value which is equal to or only the minimum increment greater than the next-lower bid. This allows you to bid higher prices without worrying so much, but you still mustn't bid more than you're willing to pay. Example:


Payment, etc.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else, and I might even give you a negative trust rating. I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("theymos", user ID 35) after announcing the auction results in this thread. You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.

[1]: For the purposes of forum ads, an ICO is any token, altcoin, or other altcoin-like thing which meets any of the following criteria: it is primarily run/backed by a company; it is substantially, fundamentally centralized in either operation or coin distribution; or it is not yet possible for two unprivileged users of the system to send coins directly to each other in a P2P way. The intention here is to allow community efforts to advertise things like Litecoin, but not to allow ICO funding, even when the ICO is disguised in various ways.
[2]: A loggable mixer is a service marketed primarily for improving transaction privacy which accepts full custody of cryptocurrency for a time and has the technical ability to log where the cryptocurrency comes from and goes to (even if they promise not to log).

thanks for this informations
this is good, and i hope the project team will contact the coinmarketcap admin to add this new exchange in indeaology market lists
so, people have other options besides p2pb2b and 1inch exchange

Has registration been opened to become a beta tester? I am interested, and want to know more about Idealogy project. How many stages of sales will it take until we can trade?

https://exchange.bitcoin.com/ieo/9
Our IEO will last for 10 days

It's very clear that this project is new doing what it has planned and is not yet available on Uniswap. thank you for providing the information that the IEO will start at the end of this month. How long will it take?

Hello, I have a question, is token available on Uniswap? Can someone post a contract address for me? Where can I currently still buy / sell tokens, which exchanges? thanks

Apparently the IDEAology project is gaining momentum in its popularity and in fact will have good prospects in the future. It is a pity that some scammers start to create fake official pages on social networks and try to deceive people. But nevertheless, This suggests that the demand and popularity for the IDEAology project is rising.

What stage is the ICO? and how is it progress at the moment with people's response?

I found here tokens IDEA:
https://forkdelta.app/#!/trade/0x5d3a4f62124498092ce665f865e0b38ff6f5fbea-ETH

Are they legit, can I buy them??? (not so much available!)

Are you aware of the fact that person listed on your website as your "Strategy Advisor", Hamza Khan, is involved in several scams, both directly as CEO of Stellar Gold and indirectly as an advisor such scams like Cryptoknowmics, AOSPooling, Arc Iris Hydrogen, Kingcasino etc? That guy is neck-deep in scams.

I fully understand that many projects hire those rent-a-advisors to appear more legit and serious while in reality they don't bring anything to the project, but I would like to know what exactly Hamza Khan brings to Ideaology, how can serial scammer help you succeed in any way? And in the end, why don't you vet people and check their track record before including them on your whitepaper?

Ideaology.io is a UAE legit startup (ICO) that released in Q1 2020. At first glance, Ideaology IEO is a legal, profitable, and successful project, But check Ideaology IEO rating and review on Antidolos. It's not a scam but, we have 10 reasons that you should not invest in that.

1. Duplicate Idea with no creativity. An idea with poor RoI that you have already seen in various startups and projects.



2. They already failed in Pre-ICO. Ideaology started its Pre-ICO on 1st Oct 2020 and no one invested in that. So they did some fake transactions and closed the Pre-ICO and removed all ICO phases from their roadmap. We have evidence for it. They knew they can't succeed in ICO, so they just skipped and jumped to the IEO and listed on an infamous exchange.





3. They have a fake and non-operational MVP, it made this project too risky. This is not a simple charge. All documents are available.




4. They focused only on one big team. A 21 person team completely amateur and inexperienced, after some research we found out that some of them have a history of collaborating with fraud projects and scam ICO. [Check the evidence and proof]




5. At the time of writing, 70 days had passed since their sale began, and after a one-month period of Pre-ICO, they have only 14 holders and only 1.4% of the tokens had been distributed. 30days Pre-ICO + 9 days on exchange = Only 14 holders !! They claim to have raised $300,000 only in Pre-ICO.
So if their Pre-ICO was so great, why they canceled the ICO??



6. Although this project has been widely Advertised, we predicted Ideaology IEO is too risky and will have a low Return on Investment.



These are just 6 of 10 reasons we call Ideaology too risky and worthless. You can find the full Ideaology Rating and Review along with all documents, evidence, and proof in the following link.

With your response like this it is very clear that what is happening and sometimes people just need a definite answer about what they are asking. Time to wait for new things in the new year. Thanks.

I dont have a feeling that this project will not raise the money but I just feel they might not be having the right partners with experience to give some strong advise. Exchange for IEO is not attractive, some things are as important as the first move in the space. Some would rather go to a decentralized exchange than those mentioned here. They got the hype but I sense some investors are still looking from afar on what comes after, where are they listing after IEO and the price movement after of coin.

and where is the big marketing strategy? an airdrop or an event that got crowded in the short of time? a banner that displayed in a site that frequented by many crypto users? What I see is only a small campaign https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285962.0, not so many participants, which is likely already ended right now.

Are you sure about this decision? They don't have good reputation here in the forum, the reason why they couldn't even run their own sig campaign.

If you want to take a look here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5203715.0 and you can also check the profile of p2pb2b - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2719262

They did not succeed in promoting their exchange here in the forum so I don't know if this will affect your IEO performance. Weigh your options.

I just want to know what team is real.

When do you plan to provide AMA for community?

Is the project on YouTube?
